Description
1944 envelope to Penang bearing on reverse vertical pairs of the Malaya Japanese Occupation Pictorials 1c (2) and 3c, cancelled by three strikes of SUNGEI PATANI SYBURI Proud Th.D6, one with ‘19/1’ added in manuscript (very early). The front with Censor 1 in violet and 4 in bluish grey (fair only), with a bilingual Japanese/English mark in the same bluish grey ink, reading CONTRARY TO REGULATIONS. This mark not recorded by Proud. The envelope is soiled and with a little ink etching at top. Most unusual
Footnote
The CONTRARY TO REGULATIONS marking may be due to the use of Malaya Pictorials rather than Thai Occupation stamps
